I know that there's a connection to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a large house down here in Kent (near to Canterbury), and of course I cannot remember the name of the house. Anyway, the house is open to visitors on some days and it may be that they have records that might help. As far as I remember it's owned by two couples and the wives give the tour - they are lovely people and very approachable. If I can find out the name of the house I will post it here. |
